Why Choose DBIM?

The Don Bosco Institute of Management is yet another pioneering effort from the Salesians of Don Bosco - a name synonymous with Education, Cultural Heritage and Human Resource Development in the North East India since 1922.

"The latent potential of the North East needs all the resources to grow, along with love, guidance and a pat in the back. It is time that these resources are exploited and the region competes with the rest of the country on equal terms."

... Founding Rector - Fr. V.M. Thomas, SDB

It is with this intent that the dream of DBIM has been realized. We recognize the need to identify the prospective potentials, develop them and put them into practice.

At DBIM, the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program would be intellectually demanding. As an individual, you would balance management education and personal development. As a graduate, you'll discover that a DBIM degree is more than a route to a more exciting career and also a life changing experience.

A defining feature about the "DBIM Experience" is our prime focus on personal and personality development, which lasts throughout the two-year program. At the culmination of the program, you would evolve into a skilled team-player, effective communicator and highly pursuasive and decisive. You will be made highly sensitive to cultural differences, ethical behaviour and social values. It is these soft skills that would put you apart from the crowd, and give you a decisive edge with recruiters.

We provide hostel accomodation to all MBA students. However, preferential allotment of hostels are made to students from outside the city of Guwahati. We encourage students to stay in hostels owing to the rigourous nature of our MBA program. Our MBA classes and related activities start at 9:00 a.m. in the morning and ends at 5:00 p.m. in the evening on a regular basis.

If your demand is excellence, self-reliance, and all-round development, we promise you that you'll not be disappointed with the "DBIM Experience".

Admissions Calendar

Each year, DBIM is entitled to admit 60 aspiring and deserving candidates to the MBA program in the month of July. Currently, DBIM has only one intake per year.

Admission to the MBA program at Don Bosco Institute of Management is through a three-stage selection process, consisting of:

A Written Test - Don Bosco University-Post Graduate Entrance Test (DBU-PGET). Students with a valid national level management entrance test (like CAT/MAT/AICTE-CMAT etc.) score will be exempted from the written test.

Group Discussion

Personal Interview

A candidate desirous of seeking admission in DBIM needs to apply for the written test (DBU-PGET) along with his/her application to the institute.

However, candidates with valid GMAT/CAT/MAT/XAT/AICTE-CMAT/JMAT scores may be exempted from the written test, on production and successful verfication of the test scores by DBIM. Such a candidate would then go through the later two stages of the selection process - Group Discussion and Personal Interview.

Admissions for the academic year 2018-2019 are over.

Admissions for the academic year 2019-2020 are open. Please contact Mrs. Binolin Konwar at +91 78967 58438 for any clarification.

Admissions Eligibility

DBIM seeks to recruit students from a variety of backgrounds, education and experience, to enable a vibrant and diverse learning experience.

To be eligible to apply, an aspirant needs to have completed or will complete a Bachelor's Degree by the time the MBA session starts in July. While a minimum 50% marks in any discipline is desired for admission into the DBIM MBA Program, we lay more emphasis on the students performance in the "Personal Interview" round.

Applicants who have not obtained their Bachelor's degree as yet may also apply for admission provided they complete all the requirements of a Bachelor's degree in all respects within 3 months of the commencement of the course at DBIM. Such candidates would be offered Provisional Admission until they furnish evidence of clearing the bachelor's degree examination.

In addition, candidates having a certain period of full-time work experience after graduation would be preferred for the MBA program.

In case, at the time of application, an applicant has a valid GMAT, CAT, XAT, AICTE-CMAT, JMAT or MAT scores, he/she would be elgible for the Group Discussions and Personal Interview rounds of selection without having to appear for the Don Bosco University - Post Graduate Entrance Test.

Selection Criteria

For us, at the Don Bosco Institute of Management, each and every applicant is unique and exceptional in their own sense. However, to differentiate yourself from the rest, there may be few additions that you may incorporate in your application form.

Leadership Potential

Applicants who have demonstrated an ability to take up initiatives in their work or academic life consistently are highly encouraged to apply.

Diversity

DBIM encourages and welcomes diversity in all its manifestations - work experience, educational background, demographic, linguistic backgrounds, ethnicity, religious, etc. Applicants are encouraged to explain their backgrounds and provide details on how they can contribute to the classroom experience.

Academic Background

The MBA program at DBIM is rigorous and intense. Therefore, the evaluation keenly considers the student's academic performance. The institute also accesses analytical ability based on DBU-PGET/GMAT/CAT/XAT/MAT/AICTE-CMAT/JMAT. However, we do not have a cut-off score for the above tests. While a good score in any of these tests helps, nevertheless, an average score can be compensated for by achievements in other areas.

Work Experience

DBIM prefers candidates with full-time work experience (preferably of more than 1 year). However, this is not a mandatory or compulsory requirement. The diverse professional experience of students contributes to the rich and stimulating learning experience at DBIM. Successful candidates must demonstrate managerial and leadership potential, drive and focus.
